MacGregor's

I don’t normally write negative reviews but our experience at MacGregor’s tonight was truly disappointing. We have booked dinner at MacGregor’s for our one night in Inverness based on their main menu online which had traditional Scottish dishes and plenty of gluten free options. When we arrived, we were presented with a small lunch/late night menu and when we asked we were told that they don’t do their main menu on a Sunday. The menu we were presented with was very limited with a few types of loaded fries and burgers as well as a few mains. The gluten free options on this menu were only the loaded chips. I raised my concern that none of the mains were gluten free and I was told I can pick something from the actual main menu and they will accomodate me, so I picked the vegan burger. 10 minutes later I was told that the vegan burger beef pattie had bread crumbs in it which I questioned how could the vegan burger have a beef Pattie in the first place but the waiter just repeated that it’s not gluten free (despite being marked as gluten free on their main menu). They ended up making me a chicken breast which was chewy and completely flavourless so I could not eat it. My partner had a fish and chips which as undercooked and flavourless as well. For drinks we ordered a Prosecco and a beer, only to be told after waiting for over 15 minutes that they don’t have the Prosecco and the beer came out even later. Finally, when we went to pay and surprise surprise, the vegan burger and Prosecco (which we never had) were both on the bill… overall an awful and disappointing experience 😞

What a wonderful night at MacGregor's! We sat outside sharing a table with strangers (who became friends) listening to live music. The food was wonderful. I'm celiac and order the vegan burger. Unfortunately they ran out of it but worked so hard to find me a substitute. I ended up having the most delicious salmon! Highly recommend!
